Re: [Subclipse-users] Which eclipse files belong in svn, anyway?

There is no right or wrong answer here. If there is an expectation
that a lot of users are going to use Eclipse, then storing the project
settings in the repository simplifies the process of correctly
checking out the project and getting started. In my experience these
files can be setup so that they are very stable and only need to be
modified when a true project change occurs that all users benefit from
receiving via update.

The other question gets into preferences etc. Eclipse 3.3 allows more
and more of these to be stored on a per-project basis, which then
makes them easy to version. Where it is possible to use this feature
I recommend it for the same reason as the other project files. Of
course it also depends on whether these settings are truly something
you want to associate with the project and are not an individual
user's preferences.

As for the other preferences, I usually just export my preferences to
a file on a regular basis so that I have them stored somewhere. I do
not think there is a better way to handle this.
